Happy New Year!!
So New Year's Eve Blaine and I had no plans but we wanted to do something fun! So we decided to see what every one else was up to, no one had any plans so we invited everyone over to our house. Blaine and I hit up Costco and bought tons of good food.
We had dinner at Blaine's parents house because it was Boyd and his kids last night in town. Then Blaine, Boyd, and his boys went to the hockey game. Rachel (my nephew's wife) and I ran to the dollar tree and bought a few decorations and some silly string and glow sticks for the kids and then ran to the grocery store for a few things. Then Rachel, aka my lifesaver, headed over to my house to get ready. We made all the food and got it all put out and the decorations out. If Rachel had not been there I would have been up a creek because Cooper needed a lot of attention. I was so excited because everyone came!!
We all hung out and played some really fun games - catch phrase and mafia. Everyone had a good time and the time went by really fast. All the kids were perfectly behaved. At midnight we watched the ball drop and all the kids did these little poppers things that made noise and shot confetti! Everyone made it to midnight too! Even Bruce and Sharon (blaine's parents) stayed till midnight. I had a really a good time and loved being the hostess!
New Year's day we went to a church sledding activity. It was sledding!! I love sledding so I was pretty excited but Cooper had been kinda cranky. When we got there I bundled Cooper all up and he didn't really like it. Now that he is so mobile he doesn't like not being about to crawl around. But he sure looked cute in the coat and snow pants that Anne got him for Christmas and the BYUI hat that Dannah got him! I wasn't sure if we would stay long since it was cold - 13 degrees!! and Cooper was fussy but he fell asleep and I was able to put him the house so Blaine and I could sled. We sled down on big black tubes and it was so fun!! Blaine and I went down together and crashed - I landed on top of Blaine but it was so so so FUN!! We laughed and just had a blast. After sledding we went up to Debbie's house and played another game, I think it was called Things, it was hilarious!! We really started the New Year off great and are looking forward to an amazing 2011!!
I have a few videos I need to post from Christmas but my new computer is not cooperating so I will hopefully be able to get them up in a few days.
